$1/$2 NL Live
Main Villain: 40yr old Asian guy. Loose Aggressive but not the "winning player" LAG we know and love - more of a reckless type. Not a total idiot but plays a wide range of cards of Pre. He has a very big stack as he has been hitting everything. Not surprised to see him in there with any two suited cards chasing a 9 high flush kinda guy. Have seen him jam with the nuts as well as with 2 pair...BUT...these were all in smaller pots. Have no clean info on him in pots of the size I am going to describe.
His Villainous Entourage: This began as a large table wide fiasco. Rather than give deets on every villain (as they fold on flop), basically the table was loose passive pre-flop with a lot of people seeing a lot of cards. The guy on BTN who 3 bet is tight and I did put him on an overpair or AK but he was a bit short stacked and the rest of the table had chips in hand ready to call...
Hero Image: Villain probably does not think about this sort of thing. He is 1 dimensional and is playing his cards. But I have been card dead and probably TAG ish Id guess.
Effective Stack Size: $380 (my stack. Villain covered)
Pre Flop: Hero Raises UTG to $6 with 5
5
. The table was not 3 betting hardly ever and I wanted to play this hand with a slightly bloated pot as I anticipated 5-7 callers. Post flop, my plan was to set mine basically.
5 callers and guy on BTN made it $16. 2 more callers, I noticed villains behind me (including big stacked main villain) holding $10 chip to toss in..so I called thinking about implied odds. All said...6 players saw flop at $16 including HERO, Short Stacked guy, Main Villain, 3 Betting guy and Both blinds.
POT= about $90
FLOP: 5
2
6
Hero Bet $60. Next guy is All In for $63. Villain Calls the $63. Everyone else folds. I call $3.
POT= about $280
Turn: 9
Hero bets $100 (I have about $200 left at this point).
Villain Shoves (and again has me covered).
WTF? Probably has 7-8 right? Getting 3.5 to 1 to call. need about 3.6 to 1 to break even. Its tight here...did I make an error somewhere along the line here with sizing? Or is this just a potential cooler...?
Thanks for your thoughts
